Dorrie - a Sofia the First fanfic

I now give you Chapter 35 of "Dorrie", which starts off shortly after Chapter 34 ended.

Chapter 35: Amazing Things

Early November

It was a November morning at Enchancia Castle. Inside the castle, the annual Queen's Gathering was taking place. This year, Queen Miranda and Enchancia Castle had been selected to host the event where queens from various kingdoms gathered. Among the guests was the Scarlet Warrior, in her role as Queen of Cinnibar.

At one point, Scarlet led Miranda to a corner where they could talk in private.

"My sources tell me that Glinda of Oz is a relative of yours" Scarlet revealed.

"Dorrie and Candice told you?" Miranda asked, taken off guard.

"Dorrie and Candice know that Glinda of Oz is one of your relatives?" Scarlet inquired, puzzled. "I didn't know that they knew. The simple fact that they knew, and didn't tell me, shows just how loyal they are to you".

Miranda smiled at the compliment that Scarlet directed toward Dorrie and Candice.

"Then how did you know that Glinda is one of my relatives?" Miranda wanted to know.

"I have my ways" Scarlet gently said. "Be assured that I will not tell anybody else".

"Thank you" Miranda said, grateful.

"Glinda is one of the most powerful witches in existence" Scarlet observed.

"Yes, she is very powerful" Miranda admitted. "But how would you know that? You're not a witch".

"I've studied witches and their culture for years" Scarlet informed Miranda. "And I know that just as Glinda is very powerful, you are very powerful in your own right. You are one of the only ones powerful enough to defend against Valtor's newest assistant - Hematite Blackstone".

"An advanced witch?" Miranda wanted to know.

"I'm afraid so" Scarlet confessed. "I thought you should be warned".

"Thank you for letting me know" Miranda said, grateful. "I'll keep my eyes open".

At that moment, Baileywick walked up.

"Pardon the intrusion, Queen Miranda" Baileywick apologized. "It's time for the Queen's Brunch".

"Of course" Miranda acknowledged. "I'll be there in a minute".

"Very good, Queen Miranda" Baileywick smiled as he walked away.

"Shall we?" Miranda happily asked Scarlet, pointing toward the area where the brunch was about to begin.

"I'd be delighted" Scarlet smiled as she and Miranda walked over to where the brunch was being held.

Meanwhile, at Scarlet's castle

In the Kingdom of Cinnibar, at Scarlet's castle, Colette (the royal steward of Cinnibar) was sitting down in the castle library when she felt a presence.

"You always were a bookworm, weren't you, little sis?" a man's voice asked.

Colette got up, adjusted her glasses, and saw the ghost of her older brother.

"Hello, Donald" Colette quietly greeted, crossing her arms plainly. "How did you know to find me here?".

"You're my sister" Donald answered. "We look out for each other, or at least we should have in life. It also helps that you're an advanced witch with the ability to communicate with ghosts and spirits".

"I know you and others in the family didn't like my advanced powers" Colette coldly said. "You thought I was different, and as such, suspect".

"A view I've come to regret in death" Donald admitted.

"What?!" Colette asked, taken off guard.

"It's true" Donald reassured Colette. "I and others in the family should have treated you better. It's no wonder you packed up and left. For that, I am truly sorry".

"All I ever wanted was to be accepted for who I am - not be damned because of it" Colette pointed out.

"You have a right to your anger" Donald acknowledged. "But, those days are over. You should really consider having more to do with the House of Cosmarune. It is your birthright, after all".

"A birthright for the young" Colette quietly said. "A birthright for Dorrie, and now Candice as well. I'll leave the house in their capable hands".

"At least take back your name of Cosmarune" Donald suggested.

"I'll admit, I have been thinking of taking back the Cosmarune name as of late" Colette admitted. "Keeping watch over Dorrie, and Candice as well, has affected me in ways I hadn't imagined. I've come to care about them very much, and I was thinking that perhaps I should be a guide for them".

"If anybody could be a guide, it's you" Donald praised Colette.

"I'm just not sure I could step back into the house at the moment" Colette confessed. "There are still too many painful memories for me in those walls".

"I understand" Donald sadly admitted. "However, maybe it was for the best that you left. If you hadn't have left, Neila might have killed you as well. And, look at the person you've become. You are the royal steward of Cinnibar, and Scarlet's right hand woman. Those are things to be truly proud of".

Colette smiled at Donald's praise.

"Can you stay for a while?" Colette asked Donald, hopeful. "I'd really like for us to reconnect".

"I have all the time in the world" Donald smiled. "Maybe you can fill me in on what Dorrie is up to these days? And I'd like to hear about Candice as well".

"Of course" Colette happily agreed.

Colette and Donald each sat down, and had a pleasant conversation. It was the beginning of a healing that the two of them had needed for a long time.

Saturday

At Enchancia Castle, it was a day off for Dorrie and Candice. As the two walked toward the front door, they put on coats over their dresses.

"Girls? Got your turtle doves?" ("Girls? Got your gloves?") Violet asked, using Cockney slang.

"Right here, Mom" Dorrie smiled as she and Candice held up their gloves.

"Good" Violet smiled back. "It's a bit nippy out there today".

"We're going into the village" Candice announced. "Can we pick anything up for you while we're there, Mom?".

"That won't be necessary" Violet reassured Candice. "You and Dorrie just go and have a good time".

"We're meeting Danika at the park" Dorrie happily said.

"Say hello for me" Violet requested.

At that point, Sofia raced up while putting on a coat of her own.

"Are you two going to the village?" Sofia happily asked Dorrie and Candice.

"Yes" Dorrie answered with a smile. "Candice and I were just leaving".

"Mind if I come with you?" Sofia inquired.

"The more, the merrier" Candice happily answered.

"You've been hanging around my mom" Sofia chuckled. "She always says that".

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia walked outside and headed toward Dunwitty. As they walked along, they had a pleasant conversation. It was only a short walk from the castle to Dunwitty, and the three soon found themselves in the village. As they walked past the public library, Dorrie saw Danika through a window sitting at a table reading a book.

"Danika's inside" Dorrie announced. "Let's go in".

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia quietly walked into the library as not to disturb anybody, and walked up to Danika.

"Good morning, Danika" Dorrie quietly said. "What are you reading?".

"A book about learning Japanese" Danika smiled. "I discovered that my birth father was brought up in the Kingdom of Mythican, where Japanese is spoken. So, I thought I would learn Japanese. I've already learned some words".

"Funny how we follow in our parents footsteps" Candice observed. "Dorrie and I have taken it upon ourselves to learn Cockney slang so we can be even closer to our mother, Violet".

"So, that's what the two of you were using the other day" Sofia smiled at Dorrie and Candice. "By the way, what's going up the apples mean?".

"Oh!" Dorrie happily exclaimed. "It's Cockney slang for going up the stairs".

"Interesting" Sofia said, impressed.

"Lets say we go outside" Danika suggested. "I could go for a nice walk around the village".

"Sounds good" Sofia cheerfully acknowledged.

Ice hockey

As Danika, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia walked around the village, they discovered an ice skating rink that had been set up just outside of the village. On the rink, Jacob, Jeremiah, Jason Blackstone, and some other teen boys were playing ice hockey. Danika had heard that Jacob and Jason had formed an ice hockey team called the Dunwitty Dragons, and it was nice to see the team now in action.

"Come on, girls" Danika cheerfully suggested to Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia. "Let's check this out".

The four walked over to the rink where Jeremiah walked up to them.

"Hi, Jeremiah" Danika smiled. "So, you're on the ice hockey team that was created by Jacob and Jason?".

"Yes, Nika" Jeremiah acknowledged. "It's strange, however, being on my rival's team. But it's fun, too. It proves we can all work together".

"Phantasmagorical!" Danika exclaimed in glee as Jacob and Jason walked up. "May I join, Jacob?".

"Sure you may!" Jacob gleefully agreed. "Newcomers are always ...".

"Sorry, but this team is for boys only, and girls can't play ice hockey" Jason sternly pointed out.

"Bakana shonen-tachi!" ("Stupid boys!") Danika spat in Japanese before storming off.

"That was uncalled for!" Jeremiah yelled at Jason.

"Know what you are, Jason Blackstone?! You're chicken oriental!" ("You're crazy!") Dorrie exclaimed in Cockney slang, before turning to Candice and Sofia. "We've better go after Danika". The three girls then raced off in search of Danika.

"I really hate being your co-captain right now" Jacob sternly said to Jason. "Ice hockey is over for the day!".

"What did I do?!" Jason asked, puzzled, as Jacob, Jeremiah, and the other boys walked away in disgust.

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia looked around for Danika, but Danika was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is she?" Sofia asked about Danika.

At that moment, from a distance, the three girls saw Scarlet enter an alleyway.

"What's Scarlet doing in Dunwitty?" Candice wondered out loud.

"Let's find out" Dorrie suggested to Candice and Sofia.

A secret revealed

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia made their way over to the alleyway, and carefully peeked around the corner. Scarlet was facing down a woman. The woman was Hematite Blackstone. Hematite drew her wand as Scarlet drew hers, although Scarlet's wand bared more of a resemblance to a sword, but had the markings of a wand and the materials needed to cast spells.

"That's quite a wand you have there" Hematite said, impressed.

"My own invention - it works as both a sword and a wand" Scarlet pointed out before frowning. "Sorry, Hematite. You know I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice. But, they're my friends".

"So was I at one point" Hematite said with a hurt look. "I was your apprentice".

"Before you turned to evil!" Scarlet spat.

"Then let's get this over with!" Hematite yelled as she lunged toward Scarlet.

The two women struggled with each other, with Hematite hitting Scarlet, and Scarlet hitting Hematite back with the sword wand that Scarlet was carrying. As the two struggled, a bright light came from around the neck of Hematite.

"Thief!" Scarlet yelled at Hematite. "So it was you who had the Amulet of Tlara all this time?!".

"Yes!" Hematite announced proudly. "I took it! I thought it was fitting when I found out you were going to turn me out!".

"When you started turning to evil, you gave me no choice!" Scarlet exclaimed. "Now give me back that amulet! It's been missing for far too long, and you know that amulet has a destiny it needs to fulfill!".

"Then come get it, blondie!" Hematite taunted Scarlet.

Scarlet and Hematite continued their struggle. Soon, Scarlet started to gain the upper hand. As Scarlet hit Hematite with Scarlet's sword wand, Hematite fell backward. As Hematite fell, Scarlet ripped the Amulet of Tlara from Hematite's neck.

"Take it!" Hematite yelled as she lay on the ground. "It never worked for me anyway!".

"Of course it would never work for you" Scarlet pointed out. "It won't work for evil!".

At that moment, Hematite picked up a handful of dirt, and threw it at Scarlet's face. As Scarlet covered her face, Hematite used her wand to disappear from the alley.

"Well, you may have escaped, Hematite" Scarlet thought to herself. "But, I have the Amulet of Tlara back".

Scarlet looked at the amulet she was holding, and the chain that had broken when she snatched the amulet from Hematite's neck. Scarlet held the amulet, and concentrated. In a few moments, the chain was magically repaired. Scarlet then clapped her hands, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That evil woman was an apprentice of Scarlet?" Dorrie asked Candice and Sofia, shocked.

"What else don't we know about Scarlet?" Sofia wondered.

"Can we still trust Scarlet?" Dorrie asked. "This changes the game, now that we know that Scarlet had an evil apprentice".

"We shouldn't jump to conclusions" Candice cautioned. "We don't know the whole story, and it's very easy to judge someone simply based on assumptions. I should know. Some people judged me harshly, simply because I was created by Maleficent, and feared I was just as evil".

"You're right, Candice" Dorrie sadly admitted. "How are you holding up?".

"Okay" Candice quietly admitted. "Although, I'm still upset with what happened with the Witches Council".

"What's going on, guys?" Sofia asked, concerned.

"A little while ago, Candice was called before the Witches Council" Dorrie explained.

Flashback:

"Candice Megan Cooper" the chairwoman of the council addressed Candice. "You say you are not evil, but those could be just words. There is only one way to be certain". The chairwoman raised her wand, pointed it at Candice, and said "Morcus Noceo".

Candice felt intense pain shoot through her body, in addition to some force taking over her mind. Candice fell to her knees, unable to stand the pain.

"Now tell me girl?!" the chairwoman barked at Candice. "Are you good or evil?!".

"I'm good!" Candice cried out in pain and fear. "I'm good. Please ... stop ...".

"Enough!" Dorrie yelled as she brought out her wand, pointed it at the chairwoman, and shouted "Repulsia!". The chairwoman was thrown backward by the blast produced by Dorrie's wand.

"How dare you, a witchlet, attack an adult witch?!" the chairwoman yelled at Dorrie as she picked herself up from the floor.

"You'll get a lot worse if you don't release Candice from your spell!" Dorrie threatened.

"Enough!" a woman's voice rang out.

Everybody looked up to see the Witch Queen, Annora, enter the room. Annora looked directly at the chairwoman.

"Lavina!" Annora snapped at the chairwoman. "We don't use torture to get information! You are stripped of your position immediately!".

The other members of the council started to protest Queen Annora's move.

"Since all of you obviously support what Lavina did, all of you are stripped of your positions as well!" Annora barked at the council. "Never in all my life have I seen such a despicable thing - use of a torture spell against a young witchlet!". Annora then pointed her wand at Candice, and said "Laxo Morcus Noceo". The torture spell that was affecting Candice immediately stopped.

Candice, still on the floor, was being cradled in the arms of her and Dorrie's adoptive mother, Violet.

"It's over" Violet gently said to Candice. "It's over".

"I'm so sorry you had to go through this" Annora apologized to Candice.

"I just want to go home, Mom" Candice sobbed to Violet.

"The flying carriage to Enchancia Castle is waiting outside" Violet acknowledged as she helped Candice to her feet. Violet then looked directly at Annora. "You ... animals! Harming an innocent young girl like that!". Violet then walked Candice out of the room.

"I'm so sorry for all of this" Annora tearfully said to Dorrie.

"Thank you for that" Dorrie gratefully acknowledged. "It's going to take Candice a while to recover from this ordeal. And, the truth be told, I'm very seriously questioning if I want any thing more to do with witch culture. You people hurt my sister who had done nothing to any of you!".

Dorrie then walked off.

End of flashback, and back to the present.

"Oh ... my God!" Sofia exclaimed in shock.

"It's alright" Candice reassured Sofia. "I'm better now".

"In large part to Queen Annora" Dorrie pointed out. "Annora issued a public apology for what happened to Candice, and made sure that Candice received help in dealing with what happened. Annora's actions have restored mine, my mom's, and Candice's faith in witch culture".

In a few moments, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia started walking away from the alleyway. As they walked away, Scarlet watched from a distance.

"I have a lot of explaining to do, my three precious ones" Scarlet thought to herself as she watched Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia walk away. "I'll get the Amulet of Tlara to a safe place, and then I'll talk to my three girls. I just hope they will believe me".

A visitor from the past

In another part of the village, Danika was walking, still angry about what had happened at the ice hockey rink. Suddenly, Danika's amulet started glowing.

"Are you going to stomp around being angry, or are you going to do something to prove that you're up to the task?" a woman's voice came from behind Danika.

Danika turned around and saw a 24-year-old woman standing there who was wearing a suit of armor.

"Who are you?" Danika asked the woman.

"History knows me as Jane Turnkey" the woman smiled. "Although, I'm now known as Jane Breech. Your amulet summoned me".

"Jane from 9th Century Kippernium?" Danika asked.

"Yes" Jane smiled.

"Jane, as in Jane and Dragon?" Danika asked.

"Yes" Jane smiled.

"You say you're now known as Jane Breech?" Danika asked, curious.

"I married Gunther" Jane answered with a smile. "A good man. But, right now, let's focus on you, shall we?".

"I can't believe that Jason Blackstone!" Danika exclaimed. "Not letting me on the ice hockey team, and then adding insult to injury by saying that girls can't play ice hockey!".

"Just because somebody says you can't do something doesn't make it so" Jane pointed out. "When I was a child, I wanted to be a knight. But, because I was a girl, people dismissed my idea. But I went out and showed them otherwise. I saved young Prince Cuthbert when Dragon had kidnapped the prince, and proved my worthiness to be a knight in the process".

"So, you're saying I should prove to Jason that I can play ice hockey?" Danika asked.

"That's exactly what I'm saying" Jane replied. "You sometimes have to prove yourself in order to be taken seriously. Let nothing hold you back".

"But Jason's mind is made up" Danika said, discouraged.

"Then unmake it" Jane encouraged Danika. "Girls were not allowed in the Imperial army, but Mulan went into battle anyway against the invading Hun army and proved herself in the process. You do the same with Jason".

"You're right, Jane!" Danika said with a new found sense of energy. "Thank you".

"You're very welcome" Jane smiled before disappearing into thin air.

At that moment, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia ran up.

"Danika!" Dorrie exclaimed in relief. "We've been looking everywhere for you. Are you okay?".

"I'm fine" Danika reassured Dorrie. "And I'm going to prove to Jason that girls can play ice hockey".

"That's the spirit!" Sofia gleefully exclaimed.

Later, at the castle

That afternoon, in her office at Enchancia Castle, Violet was going over some paperwork when Scarlet appeared in a puff of smoke.

"Hello, old friend" Scarlet smiled.

"Nice to see you, Scarlet" Violet smiled back. "What may I do for you?"

"I have a favor to ask" Scarlet started. "I need you to be the guardian of something very important".

"What would I be guardian of?" Violet asked, curious.

Scarlet then brought out the Amulet of Tlara.

"Oh my God!" Violet exclaimed, taken off guard. "Is that the ... Amulet of Tlara?".

"It is" Scarlet answered with a smile. "It's been found. And I need you to keep it safe. We both know who the Amulet of Tlara is destined for".

"Yes" Violet acknowledged. "It's destined to be worn by Lucinda Magwin when she's fourteen".

"I'm curious, mind you" Scarlet said to Violet. "What does Lucinda's future hold after that point?".

"We both know that Lucinda will lose her parents to a mysterious sickness that will race across Enchancia" Violet answered. "We both also know that Lucinda will be adopted into the Enchancian royal family, and will become a princess as a result".

"And beyond that?" Scarlet wanted to know.

"You know the rules, Scarlet" Violet gently said. "If it's something that the Book of Secrets hasn't told you, then I can't comment on it. The future is a tricky thing. If somebody other than a trained time traveler like myself knows too much about the future, there is a chance the future that needs to take place could be changed".

"You're right, of course" Scarlet admitted. "I admire you and your fellow Voyagers. All of you have such an important job to do".

Scarlet then walked over to Violet.

"I entrust the Amulet of Tlara to you" Scarlet smiled. "I'll come collect it in a few years when it's time for the amulet to mysteriously appear in the jewel room. Meanwhile, let's get this around your neck".

"Are you kidding?!" Violet exclaimed, taken off guard. "I can't wear such a valuable historical object. It wouldn't be proper".

"Yes, it would be proper" Scarlet reassured Violet. Scarlet then put the amulet around Violet's neck as the amulet glowed for a few seconds, then went back to normal.

"What just happened?" Violet asked, curious.

"The Amulet of Tlara just accepted you as it's guardian" Scarlet answered. "And every time you do a good deed, it will give you a special gift. And the nice thing is that even when, in a few years time, you stop wearing the amulet, the gifts it has given you will remain a part of your being. That's how I designed the amulets to work".

"I'll always strive to be worthy of being the guardian of this precious amulet" Violet promised Scarlet.

"Wave your hand over the amulet" Scarlet instructed.

Violet waved her hand over the amulet, and it became invisible.

"It has the ability to become invisible, and visible again, just like Dorrie and Candice's amulets" Scarlet pointed out.

A short time later

At Enchancia Castle, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia were playing in Sofia's room when Scarlet appeared before the three.

"Hello, girls" Scarlet smiled. "May I talk to the three of you for a little while?".

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia nodded their heads yes in a nervous way.

"I know that the three of you saw what happened in the alleyway" Scarlet gently said. "I owe you an explanation for what happened there".

"We don't know what to think about you right now" Sofia admitted to Scarlet. "You had an evil witch as your apprentice".

"I realize that must look bad to you" Scarlet admitted. "She used to be a good person before greed and ambition clouded her judgment. I tried to help but she just ran away and took the Amulet of Tlara with her. It's because of her that I now choose my apprentices carefully".

"Just like you studied our backgrounds before you gave me and Candice our amulets" Dorrie calculated.

"Exactly" Scarlet smiled. "I want the three of you to know that you can trust me. I would never do anything to hurt you. After all, the truth be known, the three of you are like daughters to me".

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia smiled in appreciation at Scarlet's compliment.

"My prime directive is absolute loyalty to my friends. And she is not my friend. Not anymore" Scarlet said with a heavy sigh. "I just wish that I could help her in some way, but power's clearly gone to her head".

"What's her name?" Candice asked.

"Her name is Hematite - Hematite Blackstone" Scarlet answered.

Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia gasped in astonishment.

"What is it?" Scarlet asked, surprised at the reaction of the girls.

"Blackstone" Dorrie remarked. "We know a Blackstone - Jason Blackstone".

"He belongs to the same family" Scarlet admitted. "A lot of the Blackstone's are good people, although Hematite has become the black sheep of the family".

"We'll consider ourselves to be warned" Candice remarked gratefully. "Thank you for telling us this, Scarlet".

"I've better keep an eye on Jason Blackstone as well" Dorrie thought to herself. "In that alternate time line Mom and I encountered last year, he stole Danika's amulet".

A few days later

Danika had been practicing on her own for the past few days to make sure she was good enough for the ice hockey team. Her practicing hadn't gone unnoticed by Jacob and Jeremiah who were impressed by Danika's efforts.

Danika approached the ice skating rink where Jacob, Jeremiah, and a few other members of the Dunwitty Dragons were practicing. As Danika approached, Jacob, Jeremiah, and the others stopped and made their way over to Danika.

"Danika" Jacob started, "I want to apologize for what Jason said to you the other day. It was a mean thing for him to say, and you didn't deserve it. If you still want to be a member of the Dragons, we would welcome you with open arms".

"But what about Jason?" Danika asked.

"What about him?" Jeremiah responded. "Jacob got so mad at Jason for the way he treated you, and the two of them had an huge argument as a result. Jason refused to back down from what he had said, so Jacob showed him the door as it were".

"Jason is no longer on the team" Jacob announced. "And, I hope you'll accept this as a personal apology from me".

Jacob handed Danika a hockey jersey which had been tailored by Jacob to fit Danika. As Danika looked at the hockey jersey, it looked familiar to Danika.

"It's the jersey that Jason wore" Jacob announced. "I, with Jade's help, tailored it so it would fit you. I'd very much like you to be ... co-captain of the Dragons".

"What?!" Danika responded, amazed.

"Jacob and I have seen you practicing on your own" Jeremiah confessed. "You're really quite good, Nika. Please accept the position as co-captain".

"Then I accept" Danika happily said.

"Excellent!" Jacob and Jeremiah exclaimed in glee.

Danika put on the jersey over her clothes, and put on her ice skates. Jacob handed Danika a hockey stick as everybody stepped onto the ice rink. In a few moments, the Dragons started practicing, with everybody happy that Danika was now on the team.

For Danika, it was one of the happiest moments of her life.

(End of Chapter 35).

Author's notes

Danika Leah Knight, Hematite Blackstone, Jacob Lee, and Jeremiah Eli Cook are original characters created by SailorWednesdayMercury for this story.

Glinda of Oz (A.K.A. Glinda, the Good Witch) is from "The Wizard of Oz".

I want to thank SailorWednesdayMercury for the help and ideas she has been providing for this story. Her continued help and ideas have been of great value, and I wanted readers to be aware of this.

In regard to Danika speaking Japanese, this was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury.

In regard to Violet, Dorrie, and Candice using Cockney slang, this was my idea (I had been toying with the idea for a while now, and since SailorWednesdayMercury suggested that Danika use Japanese, I thought the time was right to have Violet, Dorrie, and Candice use Cockney slang).

"I've better keep an eye on Jason Blackstone as well" Dorrie thought to herself. "In that alternate time line Mom and I encountered last year, he stole Danika's amulet" - this is a reference to events in Chapters 22 and 23 of "Dorrie".

Jane Turnkey-Breech is an older version of Jane from "Jane and the Dragon".

Jason Blackstone is an original character created by SailorWednesdayMercury and myself for this story.

Scarlet talking to Miranda, Donald visiting Colette, Scarlet encountering Hematite, and Scarlet talking to Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia were ideas provided by Jacob Voronkov for this chapter (in regard to Scarlet encountering Hematite, I decided to add in the part about the Amulet of Tlara as a plot twist).

The Book of Secrets is an older version of the Book of Secrets seen in "Ghost Whisperer".

The flashback scene with the Witches Council is the "Sofia the First" version of the same scene that appears in my "Descendants, 2015" story "The Magical Circle".

The ice hockey storyline, as well as Jane Turnkey showing up, were ideas provided by SailorWednesdayMercury for this chapter. SailorWednesdayMercury also came up with the name for the ice hockey team (the Dunwitty Dragons).

The Scarlet Warrior (A.K.A. Scarlet) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlet) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlet Katherine Felchenerow) is a character created by Jacob Voronkov, and is used in my stories with permission from Jacob Voronkov. Meanwhile, the character of Colette is a character that I and Jacob Voronkov created, and is based on Bayonetta from the video game "Bayonetta" (please note that Colette, and Madam Collette of Enchancia Castle, are two different characters who are not related in any way, shape, or form).
